Awesome review! I had actually abandoned this mod a few days after its release, because I was finding it difficult to find someone to test it in an online space skirmish. Which is what it had primarily been designed for. However the review that you have written is so interesting. That I have decided to play my own mod for the first time in 4 years! Maybe I'll touch it up so that it functions properly in single player mode... the idea of having tech 2 at max and a small command ship, was that it would be smaller battles where tactics were more simple and required more precision from the players than the original game. I just got done playing 8 hours of RAW 1.5, for the first time ... And for all of the hype, I was kind of disappointed, something about the gameplay didn't feel right. So I may update this mod, if I enjoy playing it and if I remember how to do it. ha.
